Martin Luther King Jr. said that he had a dream of an America where a man is judged by the quality of his character, not the color of his skin. I too believe in THAT America. While I am happy that we have moved past the race barrier in our choice of a President (by the way, in the Republican primary, I voted for Alan Keyes), and I'm indeed happy that we live in a time where a person of any race can actually achieve the highest office in the land. I am not happy that many voted for Obama simply because of the color of his skin. I chose not to vote for Obama because of the quality of his character. While everyone believes that they have chosen the next John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. all rolled in one. I’m afraid that we will soon find they are wrong. We will soon see that an inexperienced socialist will not bring the kind of change we want no matter what color he is. I pray I am wrong.
I feel good that we finally live in a nation that will elect a person, no matter what race they are. That makes me feel good. We’ve waited for this for a long time. Racism seems to be dead in the election process thank God. I hope capitalism is not dead in the process.
Until later,
Don

I have to agree with the race barrier. I hope it is gone now. I also hope we are wrong in the way we think on how he will handle this country. Considering he was the darling of the news media and they elected him long before America did, maybe he will be a good president. I certainly hope so. No, I did not vote for him, but I am hopeful. Scared but hopeful.
Maybe America isn't on its way out this time? All we can do is pray as we know God has our backs.
God Bless you all.
